3. PSSA - INTERNATIONAL SOLUTION OF MARINE BIODIVERSITY IN THE HA LONG BAY - CAT BA AREA
Giới thiệu
PSSA is an important management tool for marine biodiversity protection. The designation of a PSSA associated with maritime protective measure is recognized by IMO as a legal instrument to prevent, reduce, or eliminate risks and threats to the ecological environment. Information on PSSAs that has been designated by IMO is available on the nautical chart. Vietnam’s coastal zones are extremely rich in marine biodiversity. However, Vietnam coastal areas have been facing high risks from maritime activities, particularly international shipping. Therefore in the future, identification of some PSSA for Vietnam is necessary. This paper proposes a PSSA for Ha Long Bay - Cat Ba Area as a solution for marine biodiversity conservation.
